she seeks Relief.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly of Hamilton, 10y her
bill of complaint filed in our circuit court,
alleges that she married one Patrick Kelly
some thirty-eight years since; that they have
raised family of children, who are now
grown up and married; that the said Patrick,
tor the past ten years, has been an habitual
drunkard and has treated her with great and
extreme cruelty; that he has spat tobacco
Juice in her face, pushed and struck her and
called her vile and indecent names; that he
has threatened her life; that, on account of
his drunkenness. she is afraid to live with
him, and that she has helped him accumu-
late property worth $4,000. She therefore
prays the court TO release her from her gall
ing matrimonial bonds and to decree her a
fair share of the recreant Patrick's property,
which, if she tells an over true tale, the
court will certainly proceed in due time to
do. l.. II. Annable Esq. is her solicitor.

y Public Disgrace.

Our citizens were treated to shameful
exhibition of a "skin game" publicly worked
on one of the principal thoroughfares of our
village last Saturday afternoon.
A sleek looking, oily-tongued rascal drove
into town and opened up his trade by pre-
tense that he was sent out by jewelry firm
for tho purpose of advertising its wares say
ing that he was authorized to sell at any
price, or even TO give away money or goods
for advertising purposes.
He began by selling dollar bill and a
brass ring for seventy-fve cents, seventy-five
cents and n ring for fifty cents and so on
down. He next put a dollar bill into one
box and two dollar bill in another box, and
sold lot of his brass iewelry and choice of
the boxes for a dollar and a half. This oper-
alton was repeated by the addition of a five
dollar bill which was sold for four dollars,
ten for seven dollars and twenty for fifteen
dollars. allowing the purchaser in each case
TO get the larger bill and the brass iewelry.
thus making profit OF from fifty cents to
five dollars in cash. besides the worthless
trash that accompanied the trade. During

MARIANNA MORRISON.

Died, Sunday evening, June 18th, Mariana
Morrison, wife of Robert Morrison, aged sew
enty years. Mrs. Morrison was born at
Avon, Livingston county, N. ", May 25th,
1917. She came to Michigan in September,
1S41, and was married to Mr.. Morrison Jan
uary 1st. 1S42. Those who knew Mrs. Nj. in
any of the years since her marriage down to
five years ago, remember her as enjoying a
robust health which seemed to warrant a
longer stay: but an insidious disease has,
since then, been wasting away her naturally
strong frame until, at her death, she was but
a shadow of her former self. Through all
these trying years of suffering, she sustained
herself heroically, always assuming cheerful
air in her family and among her friends.
Those who saw her daily did not note the
decline, but there was constant drain upon
her vitality, easily perceived by her occasion
al visitors. She passed away only when the
earthly frame was too weak to hold her. The
funeral was from the home at $3.50 yesterday
afternoon, where her wide circle of friends
had met to do honor to her memory.

as an advertisement for the firm by which

last exploit was to increase the number of
his boxes of money TO six, containing respect

a fifty dollar bill. He then put up a brass

the fifty dollars, but this was his turn to win
